Most people's style inspiration is something or someone uber fashiony. Chloe, Betsy Johnson, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gaga Gabor, Diana Ross, The Olsen Twins, Boy George, Kim Kardashian. Something like that. Not me.
Call me a conformist... but I love the clean, interesting, mass produced simplicity of J.Crew.
Now, don't get me wrong, I wish that was me. Much of the time, I wish I could be that person who gently picks out their Marc Jacobs (or Marc Jacobs inspired) outfit out of the closet, packs on the accessories, actually DOES something to their hair, puts on their 5 inch heels and heads out the door on time. But that just isn't me. I usually put together outfits based on what is clean (sometimes), easy to get to (this usually means that it is laying on the floor), and what will go with a V-neck Tee. And now, more and more I find that, when I don't spend all my money on food, I am gravitating towards buying outfits based on whether or not they are already put together for me online, hanging on the J.Crew model.

I've been pretty good about avoiding the j.crew website for a while (I spend my money on food & there's no avoiding it), but you've caused me to relapse.
As soon as I get a job, my present to myself is going to be that second outfit. The colors, the plaid, the tucked-in shirt... drool city.
So sorry I caused you to relapse into your addiction. But... not too awfully sorry. Because you just have to visit drool city once and awhile - it is good incentive!
I love that outfit. Good choice.
